City offer duo new deals

Man City have offered new contracts to Stephen Jordan and Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Manchester City have offered new contracts to defender Stephen Jordan and highly-rated striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Jordan&nbsp;only has seven months left on his current deal after being handed a one-year contract in the summer.

The 22-year-old (pictured) - a product of City's own youth system - has since progressed into the first team and performed admirably - notably in the goalless draw at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

Wright-Phillips has also broken into the first team&nbsp;picture this season and hopes are high he can match his brother Shaun's recent achievements.

City boss Kevin Keegan is now hopeful both his prized youngsters will pledge their futures to the club.

"We are talking to Stephen and a few players at the moment and still discussing matters with them," said Keegan.

"Bradley Wright-Phillips' contract is up at the end of the season and we are talking to him at the moment.

"It gets tougher and tougher holding on to young players and I want Stephen and Bradley to stay."
